Hello from Poland!

I'm new on this forum, but I see old world crossbow community friends - Todd the Archer and Moon. everybody!Thank's Moon's inspiration a few months ago I started old crossbow building. First prepared steel parts for Western European XV-XVI century crossbow, about 640 lbs of draw weight:Bought parts for next wooden (XI century) and composite (XIV century) crossbow too: yew, walnut and ash wood, deer tendons, karuk (original fish glue), deer bone for bone nut, cattle bone for incrustations; just looking for big goat horns (in European Union horns must be utilised, so difficult to buy). I hope find there help and new friends.regards - Robert

Mighty good work! ...and I've seen you jumped in right away with good info...always a pleasure to see such an active member join our our circle.

To help you out with finding the horns...look on e-bay for Gemsbok horns.

Being a half blood medieval half blood modern crossbow enthusiast, I've never gotten as far as actually witnessing a real composite crossbow prod build in progress, so if you don't mind sharing this experience, we will all be eternally grateful.
